Smudge

After being out for so long and the size of the investment he'll want to be certain. If he has a medical team in the US that look after his other sporting interests, he's going to go with who he knows and trusts.

Exploration has always found new options.

At my age I'm running out of dem life choices though . On a serious note I do get down after a game but I think it's more frustration than anything else.

You'd feature well in a Dicken's novel

Hard to argue with that

How can offside be lucky?

I started work in 1962. I worked five days plus Saturday morning in an office environment. When I went on to work as a site engineer on the M1 motorway, I worked as and when required. Which meant at least five and a half days I'm not expecting the sound of violins but I wish to make sure your assumption that people worked less hours in the olden day, isn't so.

Just so as you know, someone heard you,

I need sub-titles when Danny is speaking

I don't know Spunky,

We'll have a better idea after they play a top six side.

I wonder how he might revisit this

.

I know I'm swimming upstream with this. Anyway here goes. Vestergaard has been a Danish international since 2013 and played 35 games for his country along side Kasper, who I assume, would have been consulted as to his ability. Between 2018 and 2021, he played for Southampton 72 times, again, someone must have thought he had something going for him. I would like to see the guy given a run of games with Evans along side Soyuncu to see if he can get his confidence back that he once must have had. I understand that his game isn't the Rodgers game but there's the rub!

AND a Biker

And Raleigh Forth

I had moved to the US in 1987 and returned for a family visit that took us to a pub somewhere in SW Leicestershire maybe Broughton Asley, but I can't be sure. Anyway, I stood up to go to the gents and en-route I see Jon on the way back. I said something like 'Jon Sammels! What are you doing these days.' He told me that he owned a driving school business and we chatted on about the Bloomfield years. The thing was, he had no edge and seemed genuinely pleased to meet me. After which he invited me to meet his table of friends and family. Certainly the most affable professional footballer I have ever met next to John Burridge (Villa goalkeeper at the time) who was a neighbour of mine.

Aye its late. PM me and tell me about your club. I'd be interested to follow them.

How are you mate, it's been a long time.

You never struck me as a violent person, not sure why you might want to.

An outfield footballer's career at a high level of earnings is about 15 years, max. How anyone can deride a player for maximizing those earnings is beyond me. We treat players like mercenaries and wonder why they act like mercenaries.

Here's a question. Which club would hire Rodgers away from us right now and moreover pay him anything like his current salary?

Unless anyone has read the contract I can't see how anyone can know anything,

Mistakes from Ward and Amartey and perhaps Praet were our undoing. Although any hypothesis is pretty worthless. Arsenal are a great team and on what I saw of Brentford last week and today they are no slouches. Couple that with the fact that Ward and Praet have had next to zero premier experience in the last few years, they get a pass from me. However, for the cheese-eater to lay the blame on inexperience is inexcusable. He is responsible, no-one else. Jog on Brendan

Some years ago we invested in Hartmann. They are not cheap but we have had the two since 1992 and are still going strong.
